The Nigeria Police Force on Friday, in Ebonyi State, said that it arrested six suspected kidnappers and armed robbers in the state recently.
The State Commissioner of Police, Faleye Olayele, revealed this during a press conference in Abakaliki.
Olaleye said fabricated weapons were recovered from the suspects apprehended on June 21 in Abakaliki. He said their arrest was made based on credible information obtained by the command.
“The tactical operatives of the command stormed a criminal hideout located at Okposi street in Abakaliki, where a gang of suspected armed robbers and kidnappers were arrested,” Olaleye revealed.
The commissioner of police named the suspects to include Nwanya Emmanuel, Kingsley Amezi, Okoro Ogbonna, Abraham Ogbonna, Uchenna Ekuma and Samuel Ajah.
“The following items were recovered from their hideout: two locally fabricated single barrel gun, one locally fabricated Revolver pistol, a Pump action gun, Stun gun, 18 live cartridges and assorted phones.
“The suspects are still undergoing interrogation and investigation.
“I use this medium to warn criminals to desist from crime, as the state will not be conducive for them,” Olayele said.
